Free Music Notes for Hotcakes & Outtakes: 30 Years of Little FeatFree Music Review: Absoultely Superb
"Hotcakes & Outtakes" is a must. Stop reading this review and buy it RIGHT NOW. Believe me, it's worth every penny plus a few you won't spend. If you're a fan of great bands (that is, The Meters, The Band, The Street Choir, L'il Band O' Gold), bands that are seamless, bands that have a collective groove that's so hot and so distinctive that it's a trademark sound. If you're a fan of intelligent lyrics and compact songwriting (that is, John Hiatt, Marshall Crenshaw, Steely Dan), this is the real thing - thinking person's ear candy. If you love bands that can jam (that is, The Grateful Dead, The Mothers of Invention, even Phish!), here it is. Little Feat was, and in a big way, is still one of the funkiest bands on the planet. The first two disks takes you through two incarnations of the band led by the late Lowell George, a true rock 'n roll original. To say that Lowell is missed is to minimize the feeling of absence. Like John Lennon or Phil Ochs, he was a revolutionary, a genius and an influence. DiskThree takes you into 1988, through the Craig Fuler years into the present Shaun Murphy Feat. All good stuff...very chooglin'. Disk Four is an amazing collection of demos and outtakes recently unearthed. This disk brings tears to my eyes. This is Little Feat heaven and Lowell George is playing Standing Room Only. This disk is worth the price of admission all by itself. Finally, thehistory of Little Feat by Bud Scoppa reads like a novel. The quotes and nuggets are all fascinating. In fact, Paul Barrere's notes on the new "old" recordings is great. It took me a few days to read all of it. The aretwork by Neon Park is in the best Feat tradition: it is a painting of Aunt Jemima wreaking revenge on the South by destroying Atlanta with laser pancakes. Great. Just great. While Lowell was alive, I saw Little Feat several times. My favorite memories are being glued to the WLIR-FM while they performed live at My Father's Place. What a concert. I still listen to the cassette I made that night. My other memory is of the best concert I ever attended. It was at New York's Beacon Theater and the bill opened with Allen Toussaint and his New Orleans Review. Toussaint was promoting his excellent "Southern Nights" album and was touring with members of The Meters, The Nevilles, Irma Thomas, Gary Brown and more. They filled the stage with the most remarkable funk. After four encores, I wondered how Little Feat could possibly step onto the stage and follow Toussaint. Well they did and all I can say is that the band took the funk up another notch and blew the roof off the place. All I can say is "Hotcakes & Outcakes" places me back in the first row of the balcony. Choice seats. Best seats in the house for the best band on the planet. Like I said in the beginning, BUY THIS RIGHT NOW!
